The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A lighthearted exploration game where you climb and wander as a cat, feeling relaxed and curious.

What players say

Players describe it as a rage game that feels fair thanks to a clever checkpoint system where you place cat beds. They praise the movement, music, and level variety, but some report frequent crashes and frustration with the save system that only works at specific floppy disc icons.
